The Vikings originally started with eight, but Percy Harvin was added as the return specialist, and Antoine Winfield was added due to an injury.

With the rule that players playing in the Super Bowl will not be represented in the Pro Bowl, there will be even more roster spots to fill for the NFC. The NFL will need to fill the places of QB Drew Brees, T Jonathan Stinchbomb, G Jahari Evans, C Jonathan Goodwin, LB Jonathan Vilma, and FS Darren Sharper.

Will other superstars not participating in the Pro Bowl, like AFC QBs Tom Brady and Ben Roethlisburger, and with Peyton Manning representing the AFC in the Super Bowl, the NFL had to add three more quarterbacks to the squad: Matt Schuab, Vince Young, and Philip Rivers.

Over one third of AFC teams will have a quarterback on the Pro Bowl roster.
